see when they visit this ancient village is
the beef market That is located in IL.
historical Snnthfield. where they warm d
the feet of John Rogers in the early days Of
religious persecution The place you ae,-
was il the olden times devoted to martyr
stakes while in these practical days it is de-
voted to beefsteaks.
An American of an inquiring mind will
find the telegraph and post offices places Of
real interest. Here business is brought
down to a real science John Bull is at
home here and knows what he is about.
There are nearly 1900 telegraph operators
under one roof, and the 5000 telegraph and
post Office clerks in England are all con-
trOlled from this central department Their
pay is about Coo. ON the dollar of that re
ceived in America, excepting the heads OF
departments, and that is quite equal and
perhaps more in some instances than with
u.s. If you want to see post office business
properly done, come here. Our New York
post office is only baby in comparison
with it.
There is the Tower of London, with its
funny old functionaries, relics and bloody
histories. 1t is a bewiidering place, and
many people have lost their heads" III
more senses than one. People in ancient
days went there with reluctance, and were
most anxious to get away, but the official
always got ahead of them. The head-chOp
faxed" ourselves for tips Receiving tips
is custom which commenced with the early
discovery of the country, and it has in
creased in strength until it has gone through
the race like whooping cough. Every EN-
ploye has it bad In other words, nobody
does anything cheerfully unless his salary is
temporarily raised. This bad custom has
been imported into America, 1t is claimed
that Gladstone is not open to tips, but the
belief is common that the great Irish agi-
tator takes all that come. The Queen her
self expects little tip when there is an ad-
dition to the royal family, and then she is
willing to accept a petty douceur of $500
000 Mr.. and Mrs Wales are nice young
| people to take the place of the Queen when
| her years of jubilee are over. London is
| great city and the English are great PEG
pie If anybody doubts this, let him come
over here and look around. England is q
little bit of an island, but there is a lot of il
| which is the result of ages of hard headed
| sure and bulldog energy. The more an
| American looks around the prouder he is OF
| Springing from the same race and the bet
| ter can he understand how it is that west
| ern nation has been built up in but a little
more than a hundred years. In fact, we
| were all alike until the little row occurred
| which resulted in our throwing the tea over
| board in Boston harbor and then starting
| out for ourselves. They may say what they
please about England, but she has not
| ceased to be a controller among European
powers. She has the money and the men,
and they have the muscle. There is not a
continental nation that is not financially
busted" to-day, and their big armament
have done it. There is not going to be any
| war. They are all too well armed and they
| can't pay their debts to-day. Besides this,
they are not able to pay their interest with
out putting the screws on harder and harder
every year. Continental wars and big
ornaments must cease, or else there must
come a laundering crash and universe
bankruptcy. There is just one trouble III
this country, as | have seen it in my fou
weeks stay-they have too many people t
| the square acre. In other words, the sol
will not produce for them what they neeo
for the sustenance of life. They can't eat
| money or the east wind, of which they have
| their share, so they must go somewhere
Use They are bound to emigrate in ever
unnecessary numbers; and this is the real
political question in England as well as il
Ireland How can they live on their lin
tied soil with everybody undertaking them.
The paupers number more than 10 per cent.
of the entire population, and are increasing
| wear by year Germany, Austria and Rus
sia are sending them idle hands and pau
pers Where is this to end! The country
must depopulate instead of increase. Eng
| land, and indeed the whole of Europe must
| increase the number of their emigrants
| every year. No doubt the American cont
nent will receive a larger proportion OF
| these people, as they become more cogniZant
| of their own position and more famil-
lar with the opportunities afforded by
| America But must end my dull sermon on
